Geranium x ‘Dark Eyes’ 

Dark Eyes Hardy Geranium is a dramatic perennial with vibrant purple flowers, nearly black centers, and striking dark veining. From late spring through late summer, the colorful blooms rise on slender stems above attractive foliage, creating a bold display with plenty of contrast.

Its purple-bronze foliage darkens in strong summer sunlight, adding season-long interest even between flowering periods. With a naturally mounded, spreading habit, Dark Eyes is an excellent choice for borders, pathways, small garden spaces, containers, and group plantings where its rich coloring can make an impact.

Growing Tips

Plant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly while becoming established and during prolonged periods of hot, dry weather. Strong sunlight helps bring out the darker tones in the foliage. Lightly trim plants after flowering, or whenever growth becomes untidy, to encourage fresh foliage and maintain a compact appearance.

With its vibrant purple flowers, nearly black centers, and rich purple-bronze foliage, Dark Eyes Hardy Geranium brings a dramatic twist to the easy-care perennial garden.

Order & Shipping Info:

-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.
